Audio-Technica AT4080

The Audio Technica AT4080 active ribbon microphone gives you the unbeatably smooth, natural sound of a great ribbon mic, plus the kind of rock solid reliability not always associated with a ribbon. Housed in a classically rugged, suspension cradled housing that resembles a side address condenser microphone, the AT4080 flourishes in both studio and live environments. This mic's innovative, robust ribbon design makes it worthy of a long-term spot in your mic locker.
